Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has reportedly rejected IMF counters to the economic reform proposals he laid out at the beginning of the week. These proposals were welcomed by European ministers and the financial markets but it is now clear that what Greece felt it could offer at that time would only represent a starting-point for presumably rather heated discussions.
Before entering talks aimed at securing agreement, Mr Tsipras criticised Greece’s creditors for not accepting the suggestions he had made and for treating Greece differently from other states that had negotiated bailouts. He suggested that this might mean that the creditors did not want to do a deal.
The initial proposals from Greece included higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy, selective VAT increases and a cutting of deficits in the pension system. But right now creditors seem to be insisting on far stronger measures than a left-wing government in Athens could reasonably be expected to stomach.
